Re: AS400 file with formulas into Excel

It has been a while since I looked at Sequel so I don't know what the options are there. If you can open the file with something like notepad [and] it looks just like [...] a bunch of unreadable junk, it is
probably a binary "true" xls file and if so you have to get Sequel folks on the phone to see how to properly format a formula.

The XLS files I generate with Sequel are in the Excel binary format. Jeff, if you want to use Sequel you'll have to talk to Helpsystems to find out if this is possible. Otherwise, you may be able to get something to work by generating a CSV using the syntax Terry suggested, or use POI from an HLL program.

If you get something working without POI, I for one would love to hear about it. I've thought about trying to do something similar before, but it hasn't been important enough to spend the time researching.
